Serving Our Communities, Protecting Them From Harm

Further glorious victories in the war against red tape and political correctness have emerged thanks to the brave pioneering of some of Britain's more rampant police forces. Almost half the police forces in England and Wales, including five of the ones most resolutely dedicated to removing the institutional bias against indigenous Britons, have decided to stop recording the ethnicity of those whom their officers stop on the street. The power, known as "stop and account", does not require any reasonable suspicion of criminality, and is therefore ideal for monitoring and controlling those suspected of subtler offences such as publicly deploying an excess of melanin. Dismissing objections by lawyers, civil liberties campaigners, the United Nations and other obstructions to progress, the Association of Chief Police Officers' spokesbeing on stop-and-search issues said there was no evidence whatever that police forces were "hiding some sort of practice"; which certainly ought to set somebody's mind at rest. The spokesbeing added that stop and account was not really a police power and that people could always ignore requests for information until it was beaten out of them.
